The Labour Court cannot hear Appeals that are submitted more than 42 days from the date of the decision being appealed unless it determines that exceptional circumstances exist. The date of the decision is the first day of the 42 days. If yes has been selected above, your appeal has fallen outside of the 42 days from the date of the decision being appealed, and to proceed you will need to request an extension of time, allowed by Section 44(4) of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 based on the existence of exceptional circumstances. To proceed you will be required to include in your written submission your reason/s for applying for an extension of time.
